it was flying between 550 and 858 mph,
Just when you thought truthers "evidence" had hit the high point of craziness, they come out with more "evidence" even crazier - now they are claiming one of the passenger jets may have exceeded the sound barrier....edit on 6-12-2013 by hellobruce because: (no reason given)

So let me see if I have this straight..... It couldn't have been a commercial Boeing aircraft, because it exceeded its operational capability, by orders of magnitude, so it had to be a rebuilt Boeing aircraft so it could do that? Do you not see how that makes no sense at all? If Boeing had the ability to allow a 767 to be rebuilt to be able to do that, why wouldn't they just build them to those specifications in the first place?

According to pilotsfor911truth
There's your first problem right there. They also claim that a sensor that was never activated proves that there was no hijacking.
So why would they modify an aircraft to do that, and not just build them like that in the first place?

ACARS is a one way system. It doesn't send an acknowledgement, unless the pilots send the message. There's a long thread here about it.
The 9/11 Commission has claimed which messages have been received by the aircraft. According to a another Memorandum For The Record (MFR), four ACARS messages were sent between 8:59AM and 9:03AM on the morning of Sept 11, to United Flight 175. The MFR reads as follows(3) -
1259:19Z A dispatcher-initiated message that reached the plane but not crew acknowledged stating "I heard of a reported incident."
1259:29 Additional dispatcher-initiated message
1259:30 Additional dispatcher-initiated message
1303:17 Rogers-initiated message not received by the aircraft
The first message at 1259:19Z, as stated, was received by the aircraft, but not crew acknowledged, which is not required as technical acknowledgements are automatic.

And risk getting slammed? But ok, they lied to their shareholders. You have a dozen engineers that developed the modifications, and a couple hundred workers that all worked on the modifications. So there's, let's call it, 500 more people added to the conspiracy. You think those people couldn't figure out what the modifications were for, and put 2 and 2 together? And they're all keeping quiet?

It's a two way system in that it receives messages, and the plane can send messages. As far as I've been told, it doesn't automatically acknowledge receipt (from people that have worked on it). My understanding, as explained by mechanics that deal with it, is that they have to call down to the dispatch office to have a message sent, and call to acknowledge receipt of said message.
You mean the 9/11 commission got something wrong? Shocking.

You think that a few hundred people aren't going to put 2 and 2 together, realize that they just worked on a system that killed 3,000+ of their own people, and not say a word. Ever. To anyone. You're talking civilian workers, that don't fall under an NDA normally, and don't go through any kind of major security check to get their job. Not one of them has ever leaked anything like this, 12 years later. That's impressive to say the least.

My position again is that Pilots say one thing and debunkers say the opposite.
Pilots say ACARS technology is a "two way" system (to borrow your term).
